Proximity card access control is the most common access security system installed today. Featuring 125 kHz proximity technology, proximity access control systems work with 125 kHz technology readers and credentials — printable PVC cards, clamshell cards, key fobs and tokens.
Many organizations utilize 125 kHz proximity technology for employee photo ID badges to track and authorize access to restricted areas, but proximity is used in various controlled access and other security, identification, admission, and toll applications.
With changes in compliance, functionality and security, many companies are transitioning standard proximity access systems to next generation smart card access control systems. To ease the transition from proximity to smart card, multi-technology systems are installed.
